My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Billie is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster!

Billie is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Billie:
Housebroken: Doing well when on a consistent routine
Crate trained: She had done well with free roam of a room when home alone and overnight, which she prefers to being crated.
Leash walking: She can tend to pull toward other dogs and small critters out of excitement, and is a strong girl, so would benefit from working on this!
Dog social: She lives with a resident dog in her foster home and has been doing well! She is playful yet respectful.
Cat social: She has successfully lived with dog-savvy cats in the past
Kid friendly: Unknown


Billie likes:
- Bounding around like an antelope when excited
- Burrowing under blankets in dramatic fashion
- Uniquely dismounting from the couch, with a 10/10 sploot-slide combo



Billie is so fun and playful, and will make her future people smile and laugh often. She is active and would love a home where she'll get plenty of outlets for her physical and mental energy. She can sometimes bark at noises she can hear inside or outside of the home, or when she is trying to communicate that she wants something. She is working on learning not to pull on leash, and as a strong gal, she'll need to keep working on this with positive reinforcement training.

Billie's adoption fee has been sponsored by generous supporters, and she is ready to complete her future family!

Our Adoption Center is open every Wednesday – Sunday in Bucktown at 2144 N Wood Street, but we are reachable by email 7 days/week!

Our Adoption Center has adoptable dogs. Adoptable cats and bunnies live in foster homes. We work on a first come basis. We are limiting the amount of visitors on site, so you may be asked to be added to the waitlist when you arrive. We require all family members of the household (including any resident dogs with current vaccination records) to be present at the introduction. We recommend being prepared to adopt same-day as the dogs at our Adoption Center are available for direct adoption and we do not “hold” them for specific applicants.

You can view which dogs are currently at our Adoption Center by selecting “adoption center” in the attributes tab on our Available Pets page.

ADOPTION APPOINTMENTS: For dogs, cats, and bunnies living in foster care our Adoption Team will set up adoption appointments with potential adopters after an application is submitted. We do not have cats, bunnies, or guinea pigs living at our Adoption Center (only dogs!)

More about this rescue

One Tail at a Time (OTAT) started as a backup plan for dogs that were not getting adopted or rescued by other groups in the area shelters. Over the years we have experienced consistent and steady growth: we are among the top transfer partners for dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) and for cats at several open intake shelters in Indiana, we have a robust transport program in which dogs are rescued from high-kill shelters in southern states, and we are even able to pull dogs from a rescue partner in Tulum, Mexico to help them get adopted in the Chicagoland area. Our growth has been, and continues to be, due to the overwhelming support received from our community.

Members enable us to take on complex medical cases and continue to grow our annual intake numbers. Volunteers have continued to line up to foster and care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, to take on leadership roles, and to help build One Tail at a Time into a well-known and respected rescue organization in Chicago and beyond.

Due to our continuous growth and immensely supportive community of members, volunteers, fosters, adopters, and more, we have evolved into the One Tail at a Time Cooperative!
